In addition to offering protection, Treatex Hardwax Oils also give you the opportunity to shade your floor with a range of tints, from light oak right up to ebony. Clear oils are also available, although these may still darken your boards slightly, as can happen with any application of moisture to a timber product. To achieve the most natural appearance, the clear natural oil should be used. If using a stain, it is recommended that a final top layer of clear oil is applied for added durability.
